President Barack Obama is considered by some to be the nation's first black president - but Morgan Freeman isn't one such individual.

The actor told NPR's "Tell Me More" host Michel Martin in an interview posted Thursday that "the first thing" that he thinks of when he thinks of Obama is "all of the people who are setting up this barrier for him," Morgan said.

"They just conveniently forget that Barack had a mama, and she was white - very white American, Kansas, middle America," the Oscar winner continued. "There was no argument about who he is or what he is. America's first black president hasn't arisen yet. He's not America's first black president - he's America's first mixed-race president."

Race aside, however, Freeman also mentioned that he believes the president has been treated unfairly by members of the opposing party.

"He is being purposely, purposely thwarted by the Republican Party, who started out at the beginning of his tenure by saying, 'We are going to do whatever is necessary to make sure that he only has one term,'" Freeman said. "That means they will not cooperate with him on anything. So to say he's ineffective is a misappropriation of the facts."

There was a Kenyan guy on NPR last year who said that it's amusing to him that Obama is considered the U.S.A's first Black president, if he'd run for office in Kenya he'd be considered their first White president.
This Pastor Manning sermon is now part of 21st century folklore but for those who haven't seen it here it is again:

As Serenity walked along the avenue, he saw many Functionaries that he recognized, but he didn’t dare say anything to, salute, or even look at them directly. Any such behavior could be interpreted as sexual harassment by the woman in question, and if a complaint were filed against him—well, that could mean weeks or months in a Rehabilitation Center.--Kevin Beary, Savaged States of America

Subscribing to both evolution and equality is intrinsically nonsensical--Vox Day

In view of the complete lack of spirituality, intellect, political awareness, and moral courage in the American population, the possibility of an American revolt against jewish domination has been entirely omitted. Such a thing is only a possibility after American jewry suffers a thorough military defeat, and even then only if it is followed by large-scale economic disasters--Francis Parker Yockey

"There is something wrong with the black man's mind. I don't tell you this cause I hate black folks, I tell you this cause I love you enough to tell you the Truth. There is something wrong with the black man's mind. He doesn't understand the world." - Reverend Manning
